Isolation

Always surrounded by " friends " not realizing that they were just drinking companions and not true friends. Always picked up the tab. Every time I get sober I realize the only thing we have in common is alcohol. There's nothing to talk about. They're boring and have no interest other than getting high. Sucks.

That does suck. I have experienced it as well. Since me and my ex separated I have lost contact with many friends. It’s hard, but I can say I have met many people on my sober journey that are now really good friends and not just from AA.

Hey Nick it’s a reality we all have to face at some point. Even friends that you are closer with will hesitate to make plans with you as they feel bad about drinking in front of you. There is a lot of socializing through the local AA’s near me. Some areas even have an AA softball team. I hope you have some of that close to you.
